Former Chicago mobster (allegedly for entertainment purposes) talks about life, past crimes, Chicago culture, mob culture and generally tries to help save the lost kids of the internet. Mr. V streams on Reddit under the account LibbyNator if his dopey computer guy Vinchenzo doesn't mess up his setup. If he offends you, Mr. V will send a personal video apology if he feels it's legit. God bless the nuns of Sacred Heart Convent, god bless the Bears, and God bless all you kids who should stay off the internet and read a book instead. Above all, Mr. V says don't be like him. All the money, the dames, the parties, the cars, the drugs and booze cannot compare to the beautiful soul you have inside you.

Lost in Space was a quirky, dystopian sci-fi classic TV show that will never be forgotten. Tony rants about technology in general, and Lost in Space specifically, as he tries to make sense of our daily struggle to keep our own humanity while interacting with more and more machines.
Was Dr. Smith gay? Is your TV listening in on you? These important questions and more are covered in this Friday edition of The ChicagoTonyV Show!

If you're a long-time listener, you will know that Vince has quite the storied history on the show. In fact, the story of Vinchenzo goes all the way back to the first episode.
Vince had been doing quite well as of late, until he came into the office yesterday and disappeared in the middle of a computer job!!!

My trip to Chicago to celebrate Momma V's 80th birthday brought back so many great Chicago memories, and then a mailbag question about children's television in Chicago really opened up the floodgates. What a fun show!!
Do you remember Son of Svengoolie? Well, he's STILL going strong! Frazier Thomas? Ray Rayner? All these Chicago greats were discussed.
Also, the great Walter Payton was discussed in depth. Fun show!!

My Mom turned 80 this past weekend. In fact, I plan to still be up in Chicago on Monday, so no live show. Out of the goodness of my heart, I went ahead and recorded this "bonus episode" for you guys to listen to while I'm gone!

I love it when a good plan just comes together. Today was one of those days. Our show has always been fun, it's always been entertaining, but today was off the rails. We had three great call-ins and comments galore. VIPs Georgie Girl, Robo Cat called in, and our friend Scott from the WorshipThePig Twitter channel called in as well.
What a morning! What a fun time! If you love the show, don't miss this one.

I'll never forget my first Indy500. 1986, Big Al's fourth win. It was unlike any event I had ever attended in my life. I was hooked instantly.
Since that fateful day I've attended all the subsequent Indy500s - all 34 of them! Today I told the story of the 1992 race, one which any normal person would have skipped had they been in my condition!
We also had a fun call-in from our buddy Yak Horseman. God bless!!

Have you heard about these mukbang videos on Youtube? They are crazy. They are gross. I'm not saying this Joey dude is a "mukbanger," because I'm not entirely sure, but I did have a nightmare last night about the dude. That's what happens when you watch too many Joeys World Tour videos!
We also answered several mailbag questions and we took a call from Vet Author Jeff!

Donny Osmond has been a celebrity my entire life. Recently I randomly caught one of his TikTok videos (how to de-thatch your lawn) and it changed my life. If I could lay down a record of positivity and entertainment in one one-thousandth of the enormity that he has, my life would really be something!!
If you are a Donny Osmond fan, then this podcast episode is a must-listen for you!!!

Who doesn't like a good Vegas vacation? I'm glad to be back and I recap my entire week away. I'm still trying to make sense of what I witnessed out West. Are we in inflationary times? Is Vegas going to survive and thrive? Who knows?
If I'm not the only sucker who will pay for a $30 mixed drink, then Vegas should be just fine. They need to figure out how to make gambling fun again though.
